Google Adds Twitter Functionality to Google Maps for Android

Google is embracing Twitter for its Google Places reviews made via the Android Maps app. Now, whenever someone reviews a restaurant, retail store or cafe from Google Places, they can share their review directly with their Twitter followers.

The Google Hotspot Blog announced Thursday that the Android Maps app would integrate a “Post review to Twitter” button for anyone writing a review on the go.

When using the Google Android Maps rating widget, users can simply check the box beside “Post review to Twitter”, and they’ll be presented with a preview of a tweet they can immediately send out.
